Helix Flight Manufacturing Machines Ltd (HFMML) is specialised in producing machines for manufacture of sectional helices (flights) used in the production of augers, screw conveyors, agitators, marine anchors, screw piles, screw presses, turbines and many other screw flighted products.

Our machines are revolutionary and offer significant competitive advantage in manufacture of sectional helices of different specifications up to 157 inch OD (4000mm). Our world leading technology “Design Software” and “Manufacturing Machinery” allow companies to move away from the “Craftsman’s Black Art” of making Helix Flights to the very quick and flexible design and manufacture of highly accurate flights for many industrial uses. Novices can be trained in the set up and use of HFMML software and machines within days rather than months or even years.

Blank Cut Design Manager Software

Blank Cut Design manager is a specifically designed software that allows for the design of perfect helix flight blanks resulting in production of perfect helix flights every time. Once designed, the helix flight blank cut design can be delivered to your cutting department, or your blank cut supplier, via DXF file.

Testimonial

Ken Stebner - Director of Special Projects, North America

Ken is very happy with the HF1 performance. “We are pleased with the simplicity, flexibility and reliability of the HF1 as it continues to produce perfect pitch and helix to pipe fit ups.” Ken goes on to note “as industry becomes increasingly familiar with screw piles, our sophisticated clients are requiring true pitch helices as part of their specifications. They recognize that in order to meet the design requirements, the pressing of the helix is a critical quality element.

Screw Piling & Auger Manufacturing Company – Japan

In recent years, it was decided to introduce HF1MD to handle increase size and auger production inquiries of large helix to machine. HF1MD was digitized, numerically control and has been very much improved. HF1MD had become easy to set up operations. Stick position and hydraulic pressure settings are numerically controlled, reproducibility is ensured. Operator has become easy to find the optimal machine settings then. Good thing is that the operator can be confirmed by looking at the display while pressing. Evaluation of the shape and the quality of helix is ideally high. I can evaluate that production of spiral of large pitch became possible.

Sectional flight manufacturing company – New Zealand

We commissioned an HF1 MD VX flight forming machine from Helix Flight Manufacturing Machines to replace our aging conventional flight press. The improvements in productivity were instant, in both quality and press time. Our operators and support staff were given one days training on the new machine, the results were immediate. Because of the Ultra adjustable support system we were able to quickly achieve the desired setup after the first flight, then multiple flights formed to exacting conformity thereafter. We can now have a larger number of staff that are able to form...Read More
